LA GRANGE — Authorities believe they have a man in custody responsible for the shooting death of Duane Lavoris Bright.

Bright, 21, died in a hail of gunfire Tuesday while sitting in his car on South Wooten Street in La Grange.

Around 9 p.m. Friday, detectives with the Lenoir County Sheriff’s Office developed information and evidence linking Demico Cannon, 28, to the crime. They observed the suspect leaving a Keith Hills Drive residence Friday night — Cannon fled the scene but was quickly taken into custody.

Cannon is charged with felony counts of first-degree murder conspiracy and was placed into the W.E. “Billy” Smith Detention Center without bond.

He received his last conviction in March 2011, serving probation for two felony counts of possession with intent to sell a Schedule VI controlled substance.

The LCSO is also looking for Cannon’s brother, William Ontrell Cannon, 29.

William Cannon is due in Wayne County District Court on Aug. 27 for charges related to a 2013 incident — felony possession of a stolen firearm, misdemeanor carrying a concealed gun and misdemeanor simple possession of a Schedule VI controlled substance.

William Cannon’s last convictions — receiving probation for both — were March 2011 for misdemeanor resisting arrest in Wayne County and August 2008 for misdemeanor carrying a concealed weapon.

Anyone with any information on his whereabouts is encouraged to contact the LCSO at 252-559-6140.
